<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Thrilla @ Mar 5 2008, 09:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Hillary is all done, IMO. As stated, she has to carry the next 10 states 70-30 to catch up. And if they do decide to bring in Florida and Michigan, they will be redone, and probably in caucus form, which favors Obama (Has he lost a caucus yet?). Also, even if Hillary wins them again, her margin of victory there will go way down with only her and Obama on the ballot.
That leaves the superdelegates as Hillary's only shot. If they choose to go against the people, then I and many many other Democrats will either support McCain or boycott the general election altogether. Hopefully they know that they'll be handing over the election to the Republicans if they do disregard the votes from the people and choose Hillary for political reasons.</div>
She won the Nevada caucus. But I didn't read anything that said the Florida and Michigan do-overs would be caucuses. I saw the Florida Governor on TV earlier say it would be a primary.
She needs more than 70-30 to win the nomination based on pledged delegates alone, but so does Obama. She has a decent chance of catching up on the popular vote and then it's the superdelegates turn to figure this mess out.
I don't think a lot of democrats would boycott the election if what you said happens. A majority of both Obama and Clinton supporters said they would gladly support the other candidate if their choice didn't win.
